I'm getting a bit worried now. I think we are really lite in midfield and even still up front. I'm not confident Wilshere will get over this injury sadly either.

We need a new RB, a midfielder and a striker all of which must be top draw quality.

Yes.
I'm just more sceptical given what has happened previously with good players with bad attitudes like Anelka and Flamini.
Or PV4 or RVP.

This is exactly the type of player we need imo. Someone with a bit of fire in their belly that is Not happy to be taken off, that is Not Happy to lose and is Not afraid to mix it up if the need arises.
Please AW sign him

I don't know many people that are happy to be taken off, but there's a way of expressing that and that isn't by showing disrespect to your manager and the shirt. There's a distinction to be drawn between "fire in their belly" and petulance: PV4 and other legends fall in the former whereas players like Nasri and Anelka fall in the latter. The nature of his conduct wasn't something that would persuade me to place him in the former.

Yeah I do agree Northbank there is a way of expressing it and it was disrespectful.
I just think we lack some passion and an enforcer and for me this guy fits the bill. He is young and hopefully he can mature. I still think he would add something we have been missing from our midfield since PV4 left and I think he fits the bill. Who knows.

Even after today's news you guys continue to delude yourselves. selling is the game from now on and we might buy a 17 yo you've never heard of. Denial is a phase you can get through it!

Arsenal's summer buying is over. Arsenal will sell RVP to cover what they have spent and that's it. Wemger knew he was going months ago. So the clubs transfer kitty gets 'lost' again in the Arsenal ether. Still, when FFP comes in we'll be in a very strong position to challenge for the league cup.
I am SO glad I gave up my season ticket last year, this football club do not deserve anyone's support.

Hugo Lloris? WTF?

I hope that this doesn't happen. While we do need someone to challenge Chesney, I don't really see either being content to sit the bench.

Rumours going round that RVP wants out.

Graham Norton is gay - rumour, but possibly true.

Jordan is a bit of a slag - unconfirmed but rumour is doing the rounds.

I'm NOT angry at RVP but at wenker, gazidis and the rest of the board - TOTAL AND UTTER *word censored*'S EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

Sorry to say but i disagree with you. RVP wanted the club to show ambition so wtf does brining in girou and plod mean? if rvp expected us to pay 36mill on one player then that's just not happening - we are not that kind of a club and he has seen that. in fact this just sounds like a fuckin money orientated move to me.
look at his quote:

"My goal has been to win trophies with the team and to bring the club back to its glory days"

so his way o doing that is by announcing he's not extending his contract.

Next Quote reeks of shit as well:
"As soon as Mr. Gazidis is back from his 2-week holiday in America further meetings will follow and I will update you if and when there are more developments."

it suggests that the director is more concerned about his hols than arsenal - it's obvious him and his agent are trying to engineer a move to City and putting arsenal in a situation where they have to sell.
As far as im concerned he can piss right off/

The media see it, the non arsenal world see it, other players see it, PV4 saw it, Henry saw it , Cesc saw it , cole saw it, nasri saw it and now RVP has seen it!

Yet some arsenal fans still don’t see it


Some people are so blind to whats going on.

RVP wants out because we don’t share his ambition. He can see what we see and what we moan about. That we are a business first and football team second.

Even spuds keep there players better than us

Again wrong on so many accounts that it's crazy.
Lets start with the players you talked about:

PV-thi is the player who flirted with every rich club in the summer - be it madrid, juve or inter.
Henry- he is the one player that wanted one last crack at the CL with Barce - was getting past it imo an maybe we cuold have had him for 1 more year - who knows...
Cesc- well he had the barce dna didnt he
nasri- you have got to be kidding me right??/? this player who 6months of a good season and a character worse than a tramp you expected him to stay?

and now RVP - well well well the one player we thought who wouldnt has done so - it's quite obvious he has the 250k flashed around his eyes - this is all part of the darren dein set up.

seel him to citeh for 15mill and take 2 players in return. i'd be happy with that.

So you really think that all said players have full faith in Wenger, the board and the clubs ambition. Or do you think they see that we will never win anything under the restraints of the manager and club.

WE SELL AND NEVER REPLACE. The big players know that we will never win anything and don’t have ambition mate

Money is a factor yes, but I’m pretty sure that many of those players wouldn’t of left if we replaced every player we sold…. POUND FOR POUND. Not spending citeh money but purely replacing pound for pound
